PM appears to draw comparison between Russian and US leaders’ actions and calls for plan to restore Hormuz strait shipping
Keir Starmer has said he is “fed up” with the effect that Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East are having on the British public, while appearing to draw a comparison between the US president and Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to ITV’s Robert Peston on Thursday, the prime minister said: “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses’ bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”
Starmer, who has been heavily criticised, and at times mocked, by Trump for not committing British forces to the war on Iran, also appeared to condemn Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s continued strikes on Lebanon, despite Iran calling for Lebanon to be included in the ceasefire that was agreed on 7 April.



It was ?yesterday? when it was being reported, here, how the UK had caught 3 Russian submarines mapping what undersea-infrastructure to cut, to sever the UK’s vitals??
UK’s on rickety “strength”, it seems… MUCH greater threat than merely having fuel-costs rise…
same as Canada is, after having spent the last century betting-the-farm on US being our automatic ally…
Stupid tunnel-vision indulging…
coming to bite us, soon…
